Title: New target stand
Post by: Blacklab on January 13, 2021, 11:06:33 AM: Finally decided to change up my target stands. From the 2 x 4 shape. To the conduit with AR500 hangers. I’ll still use the 2 x 4 stands just for the 22s maybe 9mm but that’s about as far as it would go.

Mine's ready to be replaced..... legs shot too many times in varying winds at 1000 yards. :tung:

It's amazing how easy it is to hit that chain, and then you get to take a hike to scab it back together, and you get back to your shooting position...settle in, catch your breath, and bam! Got it again! Kinda takes the fun out of it. On the positive side, you get to see how you can shoot when you've just hiked a quarter mile each way...twice.
